I don't really get the appeal of travelling tbh.
I'm definitely open for it, but to me, it's more about the people I'm travelling with, than the places I'm travelling to.
I know some people who will backpack by themselves, and I seriously don't get the appeal. Nor where they find the courage to do it. I just run so many worst case scenarios in my head. Shit... this is coming from a guy who left his passport at Safeway last week.....
But having been to Shanghai, China several times. I find that each country has their own sense of.... cultural atmosphere might be the best way I can put it. I feel like everytime I step off the plane and into the airport, I can go, yep I'm here in Shanghai... or yep, I'm back home in Australia.
And it really is a different feeling to be in another country. Every country has a unique feeling, and sometimes walking down the street, maybe I'll see some asian people or smell asian food, I'll get a wave of memories that remind me of being in China, and even miss being there.
But then after a week I get homesick and really miss Australia.
